calculate average of calculated measure

Hello,

 

I am trying to build dashboard in PowerBI which has Calculated Measure as CountOfObjects in 4 weeks from start of week as Monday.

CountOfObjects = Calculate(Count(Objects), Filter(SampleTable, (SampleTable[date] >= Min(StartTestDate)) && (SampleTable[date] <= Max(EndTestDate))))

Here, StartTestDate = 1 Jan 2018 and EndTestDate = 11 Feb 2018

My date slicer on page filters data and, according to filtered data, I calculate CountOfObjects in selected window. As per requirement, this works fine when week duration is selected in date slicer.

But when months date window is selected, it performs rolling total. I want simple average of weekly data. How to calculate average (not moving average) of calculated measure?

My table structure is as below:

End of Week

Objects

7 Jan 2018

10

14 Jan 2018

35

21 Jan 2018

42

4 Feb 2018

5

11 Feb 2018

20

 

For week ending 7 Jan 2018, CountOfObjects is calculated as cumulative total of objects for 4 weeks ahead which is (10+35+42+5+20)=112 and so on for other dates. The result (Not stored in any table) for individual week is as below:

Week

CountOfObjects

1 Jan – 7 Jan

112

8 Jan – 14 Jan

250

15 Jan – 21 Jan

172

 

 

I am trying to calculate average as (112+250+172)/3 =178(rounded to integer). I am not able to create DAX formula to find average of calculated measure. Please help.

Normally an ITERATOR function is used to aggreagte a MEASURE.

 

Try this pattern

 

AverageofaMeasure =
AVERAGEX ( VALUES ( TableName[Week] ), [CountOfObjects] )
